Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for August 21, 2011
What an awesome week!
While we’re resting up from some great time with friends and family and making the last of the last few days of summer, we’re still all about the Sweet and Pretty! Here’s what we saw from The World of Wedding this week! But first, The News:
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries made it official yesterday. Like you didn’t know.
How’s this for romantic? The groom surprises the bride with a wedding – and gets all the details right!

Beach Cupcake Perfection
I am in love. I am in love with a group of cupcakes.
Y’all know that I’m a beachy kinda girl, n’est pas? I mean, give me two spare hours and see if you’ll catch me ANYWHERE else. I will be under the umbrella, swimsuit on, iPod tuned to something mellow, watching the tide ebb and flow.
So it should come as no surprise that I instantly fell in love with this aDORable Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Marzipan Cherries
I have a confession: by and large, I’m not a big fan of wedding cake toppers. Blame it on my age…but never was I so glad to see an era come to an end, than the one that involved tiny Greek columns and people perched on wedding cakes.
Nowadays, though, we’re seeing all kinds of things atop cakes, from action figures, to bling, back to flowers, forward to bunting, and many, many “humorous” renditions of brides and grooms. (You know the type…the bride dragging Read More
White Wedding Cake with Ruching to Match the Bride’s Dress
So, I’m clearly inspired to keep the white wedding cake love going for a day or two longer…
Check out this incredible cake by the Intricate Icings. I was floored when I saw the artistry here…they have actually succeeded in making fondant behave like fabric! In this case, the bride sent in a picture of her dress as inspiration, and Read More
White Wedding Cake with Pink Peonies
Blame it on the heat, or possibly overstimulation. But lately, I’ve been craving posts about white wedding cakes.
Color is fun, color is fab, and color will probably be the star of my next post. But the other day, as I was writing a guest post for another loverly blog (more about that later!), I began to search our catalog of cakes for a white cake. And I couldn’t find one.
Now, there’s a lot of talk out there about “boring white wedding cakes.” I suppose that, if you’re a baker and you’re stuck making white cake after white cake, that would get a little, you know, mind-numbing. But sometimes, Read More
Rice Krispie Cake
I think I’m just going to have to stop and let you process the picture of this bad boy for a minute. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Done? Awesome sauce.
I’m not going to lie. I might have shouted an obscene word and did a high kick when I saw this cake. I stopped short at finger guns. You’re welcome.
Since it’s my 30th birthday and now that I am 30 I make apologies to no man and I do what I want when I want because I’m thirty and I Read More

Nerd Cakes
I have a little problem. It’s called Pinterest. I have another problem. I’m a big old nerd.
I can actually hide it pretty well but once I get rolling about Harry Potter, Angry Birds, Twilight or anything else remotely nerd-tastic, I cannot be stopped. So today I have decided to embrace my inner-nerd and post a bunch of FUN Nerd-inspired cakes that I found via Pinterest. Why, you ask? Because today, August 15th, 2011, is the last day of my twenties. Tomorrow I Read More

Here, we’re enjoying time with friends at the shore, so we’ll stop grimacing at the high temperatures, and pray Read More
Lattice Buttercream Wedding Cake with Mickey and Minnie Cake Topper
Today on the blog, we’re getting an extra dose of adorable. And moreover, we’re seeing adorable done right, which is even better.
Check out this absolutely precious cake. This four-tiered beauty was the star of the show at Melissa and Heath’s wedding, which took place in 2006. The couple had never been to Disney before going together while they were dating…and they were instantly hooked on the magic. They even considered getting married at Walt Disney World, but opted for a hometown wedding, and a cake that served as an homage to their favorite vacay Read More
